<p>
The <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html" title="GtkLabel"><span class="type">GtkLabel</span></a> widget displays a small amount of text. As the name
implies, most labels are used to label another widget such as a
<a class="link" href="GtkButton.html" title="GtkButton"><span class="type">GtkButton</span></a>, a <a class="link" href="GtkMenuItem.html" title="GtkMenuItem"><span class="type">GtkMenuItem</span></a>, or a <a class="link" href="GtkOptionMenu.html" title="GtkOptionMenu"><span class="type">GtkOptionMenu</span></a>.
</p>
<div class="refsect2" lang="en">
<a name="GtkLabel-BUILDER-UI"></a><h3>GtkLabel as GtkBuildable</h3>
<p>
The GtkLabel implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports a
custom &lt;attributes&gt; element, which supports any number of &lt;attribute&gt;
elements. the &lt;attribute&gt; element has attributes named name, value,
start and end and allows you to specify <a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/pango-Text-Attributes.html#PangoAttribute"
><span class="type">PangoAttribute</span></a> values for this label.
</p>
<div class="example">
<a name="id3284268"></a><p class="title"><b>Example 11. A UI definition fragment specifying Pango attributes</b></p>
<div class="example-contents"><pre class="programlisting">
&lt;object class="GtkLabel"&gt;
  &lt;attributes&gt;
    &lt;attribute name="weight" value="PANGO_WEIGHT_BOLD"/&gt;
    &lt;attribute name="background" value="red" start="5" end="10"/&gt;"
  &lt;/attributes&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
</pre></div>
</div>
<br class="example-break"><p>
The start and end attributes specify the range of characters to which the
Pango attribute applies. If start and end are not specified, the attribute is
applied to the whole text. Note that specifying ranges does not make much
sense with translatable attributes. Use markup embedded in the translatable
content instead.
</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="refsect2" lang="en">
<a name="id3284296"></a><h3>Mnemonics</h3>
<p>
Labels may contain <em class="firstterm">mnemonics</em>. Mnemonics are
underlined characters in the label, used for keyboard navigation.
Mnemonics are created by providing a string with an underscore before
the mnemonic character, such as <code class="literal">"_File"</code>, to the
functions <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-new-with-mnemonic" title="gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic()</code></a> or
<a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-text-with-mnemonic" title="gtk_label_set_text_with_mnemonic ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_text_with_mnemonic()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Mnemonics automatically activate any activatable widget the label is
inside, such as a <a class="link" href="GtkButton.html" title="GtkButton"><span class="type">GtkButton</span></a>; if the label is not inside the
mnemonic's target widget, you have to tell the label about the target
using <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-mnemonic-widget" title="gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget()</code></a>. Here's a simple example where
the label is inside a button:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
  /* Pressing Alt+H will activate this button */
  button = gtk_button_new ();
  label = gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic ("_Hello");
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (button), label);
</pre></div>
<p>
There's a convenience function to create buttons with a mnemonic label
already inside:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
  /* Pressing Alt+H will activate this button */
  button = gtk_button_new_with_mnemonic ("_Hello");
</pre></div>
<p>
To create a mnemonic for a widget alongside the label, such as a
<a class="link" href="GtkEntry.html" title="GtkEntry"><span class="type">GtkEntry</span></a>, you have to point the label at the entry with
<a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-mnemonic-widget" title="gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget()</code></a>:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
  /* Pressing Alt+H will focus the entry */
  entry = gtk_entry_new ();
  label = gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic ("_Hello");
  gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget (GTK_LABEL (label), entry);
</pre></div>
<p>
</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="refsect2" lang="en">
<a name="id3284428"></a><h3>Markup (styled text)</h3>
<p>
To make it easy to format text in a label (changing colors, fonts,
etc.), label text can be provided in a simple <a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/PangoMarkupFormat.html"
>markup format</a>.
Here's how to create a label with a small font:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
  label = gtk_label_new (NULL);
  gtk_label_set_markup (GTK_LABEL (label), "&lt;small&gt;Small text&lt;/small&gt;");
</pre></div>
<p>
(See <a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/PangoMarkupFormat.html"
>complete documentation</a> of available
tags in the Pango manual.)
</p>
<p>
The markup passed to <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-markup" title="gtk_label_set_markup ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_markup()</code></a> must be valid; for example,
literal &lt;/&gt;/&amp; characters must be escaped as &amp;lt;,
&amp;gt;, and &amp;amp;. If you pass text obtained from the user, file,
or a network to <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-markup" title="gtk_label_set_markup ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_markup()</code></a>, you'll want to escape it with
<a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Simple-XML-Subset-Parser.html#g-markup-escape-text"
><code class="function">g_markup_escape_text()</code></a> or <a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Simple-XML-Subset-Parser.html#g-markup-printf-escaped"
><code class="function">g_markup_printf_escaped()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Markup strings are just a convenient way to set the <a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/pango-Text-Attributes.html#PangoAttrList"
><span class="type">PangoAttrList</span></a> on
a label; <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-attributes" title="gtk_label_set_attributes ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_attributes()</code></a> may be a simpler way to set
attributes in some cases. Be careful though; <a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/pango-Text-Attributes.html#PangoAttrList"
><span class="type">PangoAttrList</span></a> tends to
cause internationalization problems, unless you're applying attributes
to the entire string (i.e. unless you set the range of each attribute
to [0, G_MAXINT)). The reason is that specifying the start_index and
end_index for a <a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/pango-Text-Attributes.html#PangoAttribute"
><span class="type">PangoAttribute</span></a> requires knowledge of the exact string
being displayed, so translations will cause problems.

<div class="refsect2" lang="en">
<a name="id3284553"></a><h3>Selectable labels</h3>
<p>
Labels can be made selectable with <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-selectable" title="gtk_label_set_selectable ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_selectable()</code></a>.
Selectable labels allow the user to copy the label contents to
the clipboard. Only labels that contain useful-to-copy information
— such as error messages — should be made selectable.

<div class="refsect2" lang="en">
<a name="id3284577"></a><h3>Text layout</h3>
<p>
A label can contain any number of paragraphs, but will have
performance problems if it contains more than a small number.
Paragraphs are separated by newlines or other paragraph separators
understood by Pango.
</p>
<p>
Labels can automatically wrap text if you call
<a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-line-wrap" title="gtk_label_set_line_wrap ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_line_wrap()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
<a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-justify" title="gtk_label_set_justify ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_justify()</code></a> sets how the lines in a label align
with one another. If you want to set how the label as a whole
aligns in its available space, see <a class="link" href="GtkMisc.html#gtk-misc-set-alignment" title="gtk_misc_set_alignment ()"><code class="function">gtk_misc_set_alignment()</code></a>.
